It's my birthday!

Happy birthday to me!  I told Karl that the pressure was really on because he's the only person within a few thousand miles that gives a crap about my birthday.  Unfortunately, it's a bit hard to celebrate from a hotel - that is, unless you're on a fabulous vacation somewhere.  Which I am not.  Hmm, maybe I'll get a cake once we're moved in somewhere...

In good news, I got a job for my birthday!  I'm finishing up my final paperwork today, and I'll start tomorrow.  Woohoo!  I am also desperately looking forward to interacting with people other than Karl. Is it being greedy to hope that I get a house to live in for my birthday, too?

It's so hard being away from all of my friends and family for my birthday and it makes me realize how miserable the holidays will be.  Perhaps I will be more adjusted by then?  I can only hope!
